back in chapter 6 (pages 19 to 20) where it cut from Rhen talking about the Marquis to Marek talking about his cover. 🙂 But I only noticed that when re-reading it. When reading it day by day that was a lot less obvious.

There’s always a reason. It’s one of the many ways an artist can demonstrate that the character is evil or bad-ass, depending on who’s side they are on. The last time I saw a villain who could be described as aesthetically pleasing to look at (no scars), he was a weak-willed coward who was very good at hurting those weaker than himself, but when faced directly with conflict he fell to his knees and begged for mercy. It’s something I try to avoid in my own comic.

RHEN STRIKES BACK! Just a quick update that we’ll be taking pre-orders for SHADOWBINDERS: BOOK TWO via Kickstarter in a couple of weeks. Kam made the announcement on Facebook here > http://bit.ly/SBBookTwo

The goal will be modest, and we’ll reprint Book One should we go over. This book will also include the very first story with Rhen’s “frenemy” Leo — which will NEVER be posted online. Details to come soon!
